Yikes! Does your model assume the same rate of transmission in the developed world as in Africa? That would seem unlikely.

Indeed.

AIDS spreads similarly to the way Ebola spreads (both are blood-borne pathogens). The majority of AIDs cases are in sub-Saharan Africa.

There is a HUGE difference between the US public health system and that of Africa.

Quite true. In Africa, theft and corruption undermine virtually every hospital and medical clinic. Travelers who venture outside of major African cities are sometimes urged to bring along emergency medical kits since antibiotics, bandages, and hypodermic needles are often unavailable or local examples are unsafe to use.
